The charge Is now publicly made by S. A. Searle, managing the campaign for Cap tain H. K. Palmer, one of the republican candidates for mayor, that John P. Breen, another candidate for the same office, Is a backslider, having at the outset of the campaign committed himself for Captain Palmer, as the captain was the first in the field, filing by petition. According to Mr. Searle, this petition was drawn by Mr. Breen personally, and Captain rainier had every reason to expect Mr. Breen to con tinue to support him, instead of running against him himself and trying to bring pressure on Captain Palmer to get out of the way by withdrawing at this laic day. Tlila charge was made by Mr. Searle In a speech In behalf of Captain Palmer at Washington hall. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Square Deal Republican club, which waa also addressed by various candidates.

President Theodore N. Vail of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph company In his annual statement covering the business of the Bell system shows that that system has made an Increase during the ycaf of stations In the I'nlted States. The report shows the total number of stations how to be 4.364.fi as against 3.8t9.O0 at the close nf last year's business. Of the total 1.103.144 exchange and toll stations were cojinected with the Bell system by toll of long distance lines. These were operated, however, by some T.ono local, co-operative and rural independent associations or com panies with sub-license or connection con tracts. Mr. Vail shows that the entire system had a total milage for toll and exchange service of 9,Mn,718. which represents a gain of more than l.ono.ooo miles during the year. Coming flown to the money si.le of the proposition he shows that plant additions were msde during the year amounting In cost to 15frj4.ono for exchanges alone, Ss.8i2.ano for toll lines snd K.onn.fiiio for land and buildings, giving a total of IJfi. (537,200. In the last nine years President Vail shows thst the grand total of expenditures for enlargements of Bell properties reaches the gigantic, figure of 1378. 47. SOO. ln the year covered by this report there was ex pended out of the revenue to maintenance and construction the sum of .T9, 73. Ton. The report shows that the steady flow of money Into the channels of Improvement snd maintenance is constantly raising the standard of efficiency of the nlnni in.i making more substantial Its permanent' character. This la attributed largely to the Increased proportion of copper wire and underground conduits and cables In use. F.lements nf the Plant. Real estate constitutes 9 per cent, under ground conduits and rabies 30 per cent, cop per wires and serial cables on poles 18 per cent, pole lines (not wires) 26 per cent, Iron wires 4 per cent and central office equip ment 23 per cent of the holdings of the American Telephone and Telegraph com pany and aaaoclite kindred concerns. This comprises the total value of the plants owned by the head company and the asso ciated1 concerns, $8,000,000 comprising the amount of money tied up In ownership of rights of way over private property. A net Improvement of 15.004. TOO In reduc tions In floating Indebtedness and Increases in funds on hand is shown by the assoi l'ed operating companies. This places the cur rent Indebtedness of these associated op erating companies', as well as their floating debt, well within the limits of current op erations. An equal Improvement In Us con dition Is reported by the Western Electric company. Bubstsntinl Improvement is shown by the Bell plants, President Vail reporting that the real or replacement value of the Bell plants Is largely In excess of all outstand ing obligations. In showing the - Improve ment In the Bell business as a whole dupli cations are excluded and the company Is treated as If it - Were operated as a single concern. The sum of Slol,4no in undivided profits is left in the Hall- business according in the statement byMhr president. The total earnings of the company showed an Increase of S7,009.5X) over those of the previous year. Against this the total ex penses of the company were Increased by I.1.101.1HO. This left a balance of net earn ings nf $47,974,000. Interest reduced the net earnings by $11,034,600 and dividends by $21. .138,100, leaving over $13 W,00o for undivided profits. The total assets of the concern, as shown by the combined balance sheet, amount to $fiS0,(H4.200, with a surplus of $31.769.tiOO and depreciation and other re serves of $40,480,300. THvldenda and gnrplna. After paying dividends of 8 per rent, amounting to $13.4f9.1W. n surplus of $5,'i?. B51.2 was left In the earnings of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph company. A docided Improvement, not enly over last year, but over all previous years, was shown by the esrnlngs of the company. The net revenue of the American company amounted to $18.121.707.2l. An average of sixty, shares are held bv each of the 2$.S70 stockholders, according to the president's statement, a considerable tncreaue In the number of shareholders being one result of the year's business. The financing of the company for 19O0 nnd 1910, Including the payment of $31,000,000 of notes maturing during these two years, has been accomplished by the Issue of the balance of the authorlied $lSO,ono.ooo convertible bonds. The relations of the American Telephone and Telegraph company to the associated companies are explained in considerable detail In the report. It was primarily n holding company, though 1t owns and oper ates the long distance lines which connect the systems of the sssoclated companies, assuming what might be termed the "cen tralised administrative functions of all the associated companies," In addition to being a holding company and tho owner of con necting lines. Telephonlcally Interconnected, Intercom municating and Interdependent this Is the Bell system, built on tho policy that any one of 4,000,000 subscribers can talk with any other one within the carrying power of the voice over the wires. New Ideas, Inven tions and methods are made universally available after being examined and per fected. Not Rnoogh Distinction. The report ssys: "There has not been sufficient distinction between the Indepen dents' and the 'opposition' in the minds of the public. We have no quarrel witli either. With many of the Independents we are working 1n complete harmony, and for all practical purposes our system Is a part of theirs snd their system Is a part rf ours." Cm the other hand. President Vail says that there is a decided tendency on the pgrt of the public to fevor consolidation. I'nder intelligent cmtrol and a broad policy, the Bell system has developed until It haa assimilated Itself into and ln fart become the nervous system of the business and social organliatlon of the country. There are now 70.000 shareholders In the system, m-hlch has shown an Inrresse from year to year, no matter what have been the prevailing business conditions. The combination of all local systems Into one combined svatMn developed as a whole ' is the result of the centralized general con trol exercised by the company. In no country dues ti e telephone occupy the snme high and serviceable relation to the publlo as A whole as It does In America, but, not withstanding this fait, the sverage rate here Is about the same as abroad. Tl.'n Is hon by taking all classes of service snd conditions Into consideration The va.lue of telephone servloc depends on develop ment, extent of the system, certainty of service snd promptness in receiving it. Cheapness Is relative to value, not io price. I "Z,?"'' Women c2Pi V- . ... w It is nt surprising that th overwhelming majority of Omahm women select their wa suits at Brandeis.

We have met them ln a spirit of absolute frankness and can dor. The results have been on the whole satisfactory, and the treatment we have received has been fair and considerate, and we have found an evident desire to as certain the real conditions and to meet them fairly." HENRY GEORGE TO ORIENT TO WRITE ABOUT MANCHURIA Visits Jndae K.stelle While In Omaha Knronte to the Pacific Coast. Henry CleorgV, son of the famous single taxer. and himself a writer of eminence on economic questions, spent a few minutes In Omaha Tuesday morning at I'nlon sta tion en route west. Mr. George devoted his twenty mlnules here to telephone conversation with Judge Kee S. FJitelle. "I am going to Asia for Collier's," he told the Judge, "and shall scurry over Japan, Manchuria and Riberla." Taking the line of the Trans-Hlberlan railroad Mr. George will go through to St. Petersburg and thence to America, arriving In August.

The result is a germicide so lertaln that we publish with every bottle an offer of $1,01)0 for a disease germ that Llquocide cannot kill. It destroys ihem beaause germs are of vegetable origin. But to tha body I.iquocide la exhllliat ing. vltshxing, purifying. That Is Its main distinction. Common germacides are poisons when taken In ternally.
